For programming languages, there are several examples of commercially run package managers:

    - the Java/Kotlin/Scala ecosystem is based around maven central, which is run by Sonatype, Inc.
    - Go modules are hosted by Google. Previously, most libraries were hosted on Github
    - Rust's crate index is on Github
    - The Docker/Moby registry is run by Docker, Inc. (though that might be a stretch for "package manager" :))

One feature on slack that would help immensely would be an "urgent" signal vs a "if you see this in 2 hours time and respond i'm not that bothered.

I just use email for that. Pinging someone on slack feels a lot like electronic shoulder tapping to me, so I try to avoid it if I can.

SoundCloud | Berlin | Full-Time | ONSITE, VISA

Our team at SC is looking for an experienced search engineer to help us help our users discover SoundCloud's huge and unique catalog of music and audio.

Working on one of the leading music platforms on the web, this is a great opportunity to apply your skills to make a measurable difference to millions of people around the globe. Our services tend to be written in Go and Scala; data munging happens with Elasticsearch and Spark. Familiarity with these is a plus, though frankly eagerness to learn is more important.

If you are experienced in information retrieval or a related field (such as recommendations, information extraction, question answering etc.) and passionate about developing and evaluating data-driven products, get in touch!

On a personal note, I've learned a lot and had a great time here. If search isn't your thing, take a gander at https://soundcloud.com/jobs, there's a bunch of interesting open positions.

SSH tricks 14 years ago

if you're piping the output of tar, instead of using "tar f -", you can leave off the f argument (since you don't want to specify a file anyway) and tar will default to stdin/stdout:

    $ tar cz foo | ssh remote "cd /where/to/unpack && tar xz"

> Email just feels more fragmented.

...which is good. I want to be able to choose who I trust with my ID-related information.
